In this review, we draw together the research on the two-way connection of streams and their
riparian forests of the boreal zone from ecological points of view. Although the knowledge …

Headwater streams and their riparian areas, ie, headwater systems, differ from larger
streams in a number of fundamental ways that shape their characteristic biological …

Invertebrate secondary production, or the formation of invertebrate biomass through time,
has been estimated in many freshwater benthic habitats. It has been a major research theme …

This book is a bridge between ecological paradigms–organismal/community approaches to
food web dynamics and ecosystem-level approaches to production. The unification of …

Availability and quality of food resources limit consumer performance and modulate food
webs, which in turn, can affect ecosystem functioning. Availability and quality of food …

Small streams in forested landscapes are tightly coupled to the vegetation of the
surrounding forest, and one of the key drivers of the stream ecosystem is the nature of …

Although temperature is known to influence individual traits such as growth, body size, and
fecundity, few studies have examined how these relationships influence population-level …

Watersheds are drained by river networks, which route materials and energy from
headwaters to terminal water bodies. River networks likewise perfuse the terrestrial portion …

We examined growth and production responses of two dominant stream detritivores
(chironomids and Tallaperla spp. stoneflies) at opposite ends of the “slow‐fast” life‐history …

Shredders appear to be scarce in many tropical streams, but few data are available about
their abundance or role in litter breakdown in these systems. Shredder species richness …
